hopkins can make a good argument that he hasn't lost since he fought roy jones in 1993

No he can't. He is a great fighter but an awful whiner when he loses a close fight. Against Taylor, he was too inactive in the first half of the fight, then made the same mistake the second fight. While I believe he won the second one, he has only himself to blame. Against Calzaghe, he started well until Joe did what he does with good opponents, adapt and outwork them. While the fight was much duller, Calzaghe in some ways was more dominant in the second half than he was against Kessler, who was still game in the 12th. Hopkins had to fake pain to buy time, went to the wrong corner four times, was outworked and didn't command the ring at all. Not at all an impressive win for Joe, but not a controversial one either.
